The simple way Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter live their lives and values
CNN ^ | 27 Nov 2019 | Kate Andersen Brower

Posted on 11/30/2019 10:41:38 AM PST by Rummyfan

The Carters spent just four years in the White House during troubled times and almost four decades out of it redefining what a former president and first lady can accomplish.

Jimmy Carter was president from 1977 to 1981 and he won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his humanitarian work. They have broken every record: Jimmy Carter, 95, is the oldest living American president and he and Rosalynn have the longest presidential marriage in history. They celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary on July 7, 2019. They have been married longer than Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have been alive. (George W. Bush was born the day before they got married.)

Up until 2014 Rosalynn Carter went to Africa with her husband a couple of times each year. Rosalynn Carter got emotional when she talked with me about visiting a village where guinea worm, a debilitating disease that in 1986 afflicted an estimated 3.5 million people a year in Asia and Africa, had been eradicated. There were only 28 cases in 2018 because of the work of the Carter Center.

Ugh. Hagiography from CNN.

Carter is in the Top 3 for Worst President of All-Time. The other contenders are obozo and James J Buchanan. In addition to that he is an anti-Semite (yes he hates Israel) and even ... anti-American. When he shuffles off his mortal coil be ready for a lot of praise concerning his gentility and bipartisanship blah blah blah versus the considered-by-the-media ogre and lout currently in The White House. But it will all be bullshit!

Uh Oh, heis almost never in the news. Is he or RBG about to pass away? Is RBG hanging on somewhere? Arkinside for them? Sure would distract from Deep State Corruption exposure.

I would add he was totally out of his depth as president; without Watergate he would have been laughed out of the race. But anti-GOP sentiment was so high in 1976 that just about anyone Dem would have been elected (and Ford wasn't exactly a strong candidate). About the best thing that can be said about Carter is that he enabled the Reagan Presidency.

Carterpalooza!

How could they possibly NOT live a simple life when their IQs are simpleQ There’s no potential for anything more than simple.

“As Americans sit glued to impeachment hearings centered on allegations of bribery and self-interest over country, I can’t help but be emotional myself when I think about the Carters’ specific brand of patriotism and the fear that we may never see another president and first lady like them again.”

And Thank God for that!

Between about 1979 and early/mid 2009 the Peanut Farmer was the worst President of my lifetime.Since mid to late 2009 he’s been the second worst.He worked on a nuclear submarine yet couldn’t even pronounce the word “nuke” “lee” “er”.

By me Carter was the WORST.

Man that guy messed up my life.

First, let us discuss those long gas lines. I had a baby and a full time job. In order to work I needed gasoline. And then I had to wait in line sometimes for hours.

Second, INTEREST RATES. I had a house when Carter was President but thought I’d never be able to get a new one. Mortgage rates were upwards of 18%.

Third, the great Iran hostage crisis. Not only did a bunch of camel jockeys take Americans hostage, when the great military commander James Carter tried to rescue them the plane crashed and....awful....just awful.

Oh, and do we remember Carter bragging how he turned on the fire in the home fireplace but turned on the air conditioner at the same time lest it get too hot? A typical elite silly action.

I despised this man and one of my happiest days was his losing the first election after America stupidly elected him once.

> Carter is in the Top 3 for Worst President of All-Time. The other contenders are obozo and James J Buchanan. <

It’s kind of a side point, but I’m going to defend Buchanan here. Yes, Buchanan blundered the country into a bloody civil war. But he had nothing to go on. No conception as to what might happen.

I’d replace Buchanan on that list with George W. Bush. Bush had all the lessons of Vietnam in front of him. Yet he repeated many of LBJ’s foolish mistakes. And we will pay for those mistakes for decades to come.

It’s also worth noting that two great enemies of the Islamists were the Shah of Iran and Saddam Hussein. Carter got rid of the first one. W got rid of the second one. The Islamists should be grateful to both of those guys.

(Sorry for the rant.)

The Simple Way the Jew Hater and wife lived their lives

“Jimmy Carter, the Jew-hater who cried racist”

“Former President Jimmy Carter once complained there were “too many Jews” on the government’s Holocaust Memorial Council, Monroe Freedman, the council’s former executive director, told WND in an exclusive interview.

He’s a baby-killing leftist. That’s all the eulogy I’ll be able to give him.

In order to pull that off, all of the families and close friends would have to be in on the secret as well.

So I'll have to file this theory under "fake moon landings."

Who gives a rat’s rear end? He was a crappy President let the Iranian thugs hold American hostages, had a failed military mission, had the country endure long gas lines. A typical democRAT lousy president.
